When we agree it’s safe to resume dancing, we will finish the Mainstream class, and hold workshops at the MS, Plus, Advanced, and C1 programs. The Caller Liaison Committee will work with our callers to come up with proposal for who will teach which workshops.
Time and Location
All Tuesday night classes/dances/workshops run from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m and are held at the Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion. We use the entrance at 2111 Sansom St., Philadelphia, PA.
Prepayment
Prepayment includes all Tuesday classes and dances/workshops in a prepayment period. If prepayment is not paid by the second night of each prepayment period, the dancer must pay the payment-at-the-door rate through the remainder of the current period.
Prepayment is only available as a payment option to dues-paid club members (Independence Squares or other square dance clubs) and first-time Mainstream class students.
Prepayment and door fees will be posted by the end of the summer.
Dues
Dues are $45 annually for the period from June 1 through May 31 of the following year, whenever paid, and are due before – or at – the club’s annual meeting in the spring. All dancers are eligible for dues-paid club membership after completion of a full Mainstream program class. Each member owes dues whether or not he/she is taking a class and/or workshop. Dancers attending a Mainstream class for the first time do not owe dues.
Members who need assistance paying dues are welcome to speak confidentially with our treasurer.
